Double Cultivation
Heaven's Beloved
After Yan Yan Yan was accepted into the Profound Flower Sect as a disciple, he did not leave that place and remained standing beside Su Yang.
Of course, Su Yang had no problem with this and allowed him to remain silent there.
However, Liu Lanzhi, who was also there, could not help but glance at Yan Yan as often as possible with the corner of his eyes, clearly showing great interest in his identity.
Yan Yan noticed Liu Lanzhi's gaze and turned to look at her and said, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Yan Yan Yan's emotionless expression, Liu Lanzhi gulped nervously despite their age difference.
"I just want to know why you decided to join the Profound Flower Sect when there are famous and even more established than us out there" Liu Lanzhi asked.
"…"
Yan Yan was silent for a moment and spoke in a calm voice, "The world's energy told me to come here."
"Huh? Energy?" Liu Lanzhi raised his brows with a puzzled expression.
Yan Yan nodded and continued, "After my parents died, the voices around me guided me to this place."
Hearing such nonsense, Liu Lanzhi looked at Yan Yan as if he was crazy.
Su Yang, however, chuckled after hearing his words and spoke, "The energy he meant is Profound Qi."
"Tu-Wait a moment .. Are you implying that Profound Qi can communicate with humans? and he has the ability to understand it?" Liu Lanzhi now looked at Su Yang as if he was crazy.
"No need for implication, because it's just the truth. Although it was very, very rare – around 1 out of several trillion – there were people loved by the Profound Qi in this world at birth, allowing them to communicate with the Profound Qi. We have a term for a person like this – Heaven's Favorite."
"Excellent ... how does it work? What was it like to communicate with Profound Qi, the source of all the forces in this world?" asked Liu Lanzhi excitedly.
Su Yang shrugged at his words and said, "i won't know, because I was never born with such an ability. And, I used to know someone with similar abilities, and he explained it as something akin to talking to a spirit."
"Speaking with the spirit.. Is it like a ghost?"
"Something like that, I guess." replied Su Yang.
"However, his abilities were not limited to just talking with Profound Qi. Since he was loved by one of the main sources of strength for cultivators, his cultivation was also very profitable. Not only did he absorb it faster than the others, but he could also turn it into his own strength much easier than a normal person. If you compare him to an average Cultivator, he is at least a dozen times faster in terms of cultivation, which explains his abnormally high cultivation base at his young age" Su Yang said.
Yan Yan looked at Su Yang with wide eyes full of surprise. This was the first time in his life to meet someone who not only believed in his 'nonsense', but also fully understood his life. Like he was destined to be with her.
"I understand why those voices are taking me to this place right now." Yan Yan muttered in a trembling voice.
"My parents never trusted me, and they even thought there was something wrong with me, like I was possessed by something" Yan said.
"Well, I don't blame them for not understanding, because the world as a whole is so uneducated and ignorant." Su Yang shook his head.
"Su Yang... How fast do you think he will grow with this unique talent of his?" Liu Lanzhi suddenly asked him.
"Well ..if I personally train him, he will reach the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm within 2 years." replied Su Yang.
"The peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm in 2 years ?! He was only 14 years old at the time! That means he is even more talented than you, Su Yang!" He looked at Yan Yan with widened jaws and eyes.
"Huh?" Su Yang looked at him with a strange expression, and he said, "You know .. I started cultivating seriously only last year. In other words, it took me 1 year to reach my current level of the Basic Spirit Realm."
"Huh? Whatisthis? Are you really comparing yourself to him? Is this jealousy?" Liu Lanzhi spoke in a seductive voice.
Su Yang smiled and said, "It's not fair to compare us from the start. Although, I must say that I am indeed a little envious. After all, anyone loved by the Profound Qi of the world was guaranteed to live a successful cultivation life, and they all became experts who stood at the top of this world in the future WITHOUT FAIL."
"However, even though he was very lucky to be born with such a talent, it was also very, very unfortunate at the same time.." Su Yang looked at Yan Yan with a sigh.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? How could that be unfortunate? Are you going to say something like 'in exchange for having heaven-defying talent, he will live a short life'?" ask Liu Lanzhi.
He shook his head and spoke, "He won't die early, but it's a pity that he was born in this world, where the overall quality of his Profound Qi is extremely low."
"Even if he had a heaven-defying talent, he would be limited by the Profound Qi of this world and stop growing after reaching the Sovereign Spirit Realm, no matter how much he cultivated."
"I can take him to my hometown, the Four Divine Heavens, but there is no guarantee that he will have the same talent there, either, because he was only loved by the Profound Qi in this world and not that world. And before you ask, yes, Profound Qi is similar to humans and animals in that it becomes unique in our individual ways. Every world had a unique Profound Qi, so even if she was loved by the Profound Qi here, it probably wouldn't happen there, where she would probably be reduced to an ordinary girl." said Su Yang.
'If he was born there, he could become an extremely formidable Cultivator who stood at the top of the world. But alas, he was born in this trash can, wasting his talent.' Su Yang sighed inwardly as he looked at the beautiful little girl beside him, feeling as if Heaven was playing with him.
